"What do you mean?" Annie asked blankly.
"When the water starts and the alarm goes off, you were going to use the confusion to run out," Selina accused, "You were going to lock Sandy in here, weren't you?"
"No," Annie tried to deny.
Selina pulled the girl's black hair. "Weren't you?" she repeated, louder and much more threatening that time.
"Yes, yes," Annie finally admitted. She tried to turn away but Selina had a firm grip on her hair.
Selina looked up to her classmate. "Sandy, there's just some things you shouldn't do for money."
"But she offered a lot of money," Sandy managed.
"So you'd do anything for money?" Selina asked her sternly, "If she offered you money to have sex, would you do it!?"
Sandy was actually considering the idea. "Well, maybe. Sex with her wouldn't make me pregnant, would it?"
Annie's mouth dropped. "No way you're going to have sex with me! I'm not a lesbian!"
Selina shook the smaller girl's head once. "Shut up, Annie. You created this monster." She looked back at the other girl. "Sandy, if you did that, you're no different from a prostitute!"
Sandy's hand went to cover her mouth when she realized the truth in Selina's accusation. Her nudity was suddenly very real and she felt shame. She started to cover herself with her arms.
"Get dressed," Selina told her.
Sandy was only too happy to obey.
Selina waited until Sandy was decent. Then she ordered firmly, "Get out of here. Go home."
Sandy glanced once at the little girl and the money that had been dropped on the floor. Then she went out of the room. Once she had closed the door, instead of leaving, Sandy pressed her ear against the door and listened.
Selina was talking, "I warned you to stay away from 9-B."
"She started it," Annie retorted.
"You hired her first. You could've stopped after I've told you so. You've disregarded my warning, now you'll pay."
There was a pause. "Wh-what are you doing?" Annie asked with a note of panic. Another pause. "No, don't... No, no..."
Annie continued protesting. She was interrupted by a smack, which was accompanied by her shriek. There were more smacks, more screams, punctuated by the girl's pleas for whatever was going on to stop.
After a while, the cries stopped, replaced by a quiet sobbing.
"Stay away from 9-B," Selina warned with a note of finality.
Thinking that Selina might be leaving, Sandy hurried and hid behind the castle on the stage. She was right. The door opened and the tall girl stepped out.
Selina uncoiled some black hair from her fingers. She took out a piece of paper from her jeans pocket and wrapped the hair in the paper. Then she slipped the paper back into her pocket.
Suddenly, the tall girl looked up at the castle where Sandy was hiding. She stared long enough to make Sandy duck deeper into the darkness. Selina stepped onto the stage and stopped for a close look at the castle. Then she walked on towards the seating area and out of the auditorium.
A minute passed before Sandy dared to step out of hiding.
She went back to the dressing room. When she opened the door, she heard sobbing. Sandy found Annie lying on her side on the floor, crying. The latter was smoothing the skirt over her bottom with one hand while her other hand covered her face. Her money was scattered on the floor next to her.
"Annie?" Sandy stepped closer. She eyed the money. Annie had not given it to her yet, so it was not hers to take.
"Go away," Annie said in between sobs.
Sandy continued closer. "But Annie..."
Annie got up. Her face was streaked with tears. "I said go away," she shouted. She tried to push Sandy away but tripped and fell.
Sandy saw the reason Annie had fallen. She had something around her ankles, her panties.
Annie rolled onto her side and started rubbing her bottom again. She cried harder.
Sandy stepped back, uncertain of what to do. Then she turned around and went home.
Guess she was not going to get paid.
